PARLOR-D-OOR HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 256,247, dated April11, 1882.

Application filed November 26, 1881.

To all 'whom it may concern: a

Be it known that I, SAMUEL SHREFFLER, Jr., of the city of Joliet, inWill county, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Door-Hangers, the construction and operation of which Iwill proceed to explain, reference being had to the annexed drawings andthe letters and figures thereon, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevationof the hanger at-' tached to the door; Fig. 2, a side elevation of thesame detached from the door; and Fig. 3, a front elevation of thedouble-tread wheel of the hanger.

This invention relates to the construction and arrangement of the hangerto support the door and facilitate its movement, and is intended moreparticularly for parlor-doors or ordinary doors of a house, but may beused on any door where it is practicable.

In the drawings, B represents the door, havinga suitable hole or mortisein the top to receive the shank z of the hanger, and is held therein bythe nut n, which operates in a mortise or recess in the side of thedoor, as shown at 0, Fig. 1, which opening may be closed by a suitableplate or cover. By means of.the nut n the door may be regulated to causeit to hang plumb.

(No model.)

The shank z of the hanger is split in two parts or halves, so it willopen to admit the axle of the wheel 8. In Fig. 2 the dotted lines showit as it appears when open to receive the axle of the wheel. When thewheel 8 is in it appears as shown in Fig. 1. The upper part of thehanger terminates in the part w, having the long slot, in which the axles of the Wheel 8 operates'baek and forth. The wheel 8 is intended toroll on a suitable track immediately over the door, as shown in Fig. 1at 1'.

It is intended to place one of these hangers at each corner of the door;orany number may be used, as the size or weight of the door may require.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is as follows, to wit:

The combination, with the wheel 8, having two treads, and a central axleto support the hanger, of the hanger consisting of the slotted upperend, to, and split shank z and out a to support the door B, in themanner and for the purpose set forth.
